9.1Flail Replacement
When the flails are worn, they must all be replaced. In case of a partially broken flail it is advisable to replace the broken one and the one diametrically opposite, in order to maintain the balance (Figure 21).
9.2Pipe Replacement
•Before working on the hydraulic system, bleed all pressure, working with the engine stopped and using all control levers.
•Pay particular attention to cleanliness as dirt and dust can cause considerable damage to the hydraulic system
•Replace any damaged pipes with genuine spare parts or with others of the same specification; ensure that they are not kinked or twisted, remembering to check this throughout the entire cycle of arm movement.
9.3Pin Replacement
•Carry out this operation with the aid of a lift or hoist, to prevent detached component from falling, and also to avoid upsetting the balance of the machine.
•When replacing parts, clean and grease their housings.
9.4Belt Replacement
This operation must be carried out with the flail head touching the ground, the power takeoff disconnected and the ignition key out.
•Remove the beltguard, loosen the screws (1) (Figure 14), unscrew the tightener (2), remove the belts and replace them with similar ones for dimensions and type. See 5.2 for registration.
